What a Changing NAFTA Could Mean for Doing Business in Mexico

What a Changing NAFTA Could Mean for Doing Business in Mexico
- Multinational companies operating in Mexico are facing a great deal of
uncertainty. The possibility of a contentious renegotiation of the North
American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has led to delayed or canceled
investments in what has been one of Latin America’s most economically
stable markets. Mexico’s fast-approaching July 2018 general election, of
which the populist leftist candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador is the
current frontrunner, is further making the case for incremental
investments by multinationals corporations. While consumer spending has
proven resilient, with same-store retail sales rising 6% YOY in April,
most multinational corporations are developing contingency plans to
mitigate risks to their businesses and reassessing the country’s role in
their global market portfolio and supply chains.
